Porsche has once again opened up its Leipzig plant to the public, allowing tours of the facility where the new Porsche Panamera is built.
Tours of the plant had been suspended for 8 months due to construction, as Porsche expanded the plant by 22,000 square meters to accommodate the increased production capacity required to assemble the new Panamera model.

The Panamera is 4-door, 4-seat coupe/Gran Turismo model that will come with a couple of high-powered V8 engines, 400 hp for the rear-wheel drive Panamera S and all-wheel drive for the Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo which packs 500hp, as well as a 300hp V6 for the base Panamera. Porsche promises a hybrid version will follow sometime later. The Panamera was premiered at the Auto Shanghai event on April 19 and will go on sale in Europe starting in September.

Visitors are now permitted to experience the assembly of the Panamera at the Leipzig plant, located in the German state of Saxony, where the Cayenne SUV is also built. Tours are free and can be booked online at Porsche Leipzig GmbH - Deutschland - Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG.

 

Damn, I would love to go one of those tours!

 

+1! The Panamera doesn't look too bad in that shade of red...

 

Yes,I`d consider a tour at the factory too
But I hate,or well..dislike saxory,especially Leipzig since there are way too many racist people and skinheads ...even the NPD(Neonazi party) has its headquarters there..
so fu*k em....and wait for a factory tour in Stuttgart

 

good angle for the car

 

It's like Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory but with Mario instead of Oompa Loompas!

That tour is probably awesome, I'd love to check it out but won't be going to Europe this year.
